While the Portland Trail Blazers plan to honor Damian Lillard’s trade request, talks between them and Lillard’s preferred Miami Heat are hung up because of Miami’s perceived lack of desirable assets.
The sticking point seems to be Tyler Herro, the Heat’s best, young asset who the Trail Blazers would prefer not to add to their already-young group of guards that includes No. 3-overall pick Scoot Henderson, Shaedon Sharpe and Anfernee Simons. However, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, there are teams that would be willing to trade “a good first-round pick” or “something more” in exchange to land Herro as a third team in a deal.
